Choice Magazine has selected Whirlpool’s 6th Sense as the number one choice for front load washers up to 5.5kg, after reviewing and comparing 45 different machines.

Whirlpool’s WFS1055CD 5.5kg front load washer with 6th Sense was praised by Choice for its user-friendly features.

It offers an efficient 1000rpm variable spin speed with 12 wash cycles, an extra seven wash options designed to suit different lifestyles, and a compact footprint at just 45cm deep.

Whirlpool product manager Kim O’Donnell said the consumer recognition was encouraging for the company.

“We get a real kick out of seeing customers recommending our product to like-minded consumers via an independent body like Choice,” O’Donnell said.

O’Donnell described the machine as a “pocket rocket in front load washers”.

“Smart, small and innovative with 6th Sense Technology that determines the exact amount of water and energy required to create perfect washing results, every time,” she added.
